terrible tragedy
I guess the instructor did not think things thru enough not realizing an 8 y.o. can't handle the recoil of an uzi

I feel for the parents and family and I'm sure nobody feels worse than the instructor.
Too young to be shooting that weapon if you ask me
Now the anti's will just suck this up and use it and get as much out of it as possible, which would be sad if they do but understandable considering the age of the kid.
